    This thread should help http://www.bricksetforum.com/discussion/497/brick-discoloration-due-to-sunlight-smoking-and-methods-to-restore#latest I tried the 3% Hydrogen peroxide method last week and it worked really well. I just asked for it at my local chemist and a bottle was only £1. Put it in to a clear container and then…

    The blue printed slope piece http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=3939p90 is unique to this set: #6890 Cosmic Cruiser. Not one of my favorites, but it is remembered as having a small ship inside a larger ship. Notice that the printed Space logo is much smaller on that piece than on this one…

    Comment by Oldfan · July 2016 · Home› Collecting

    I say it all the time, but it still bears repeating: #497 Galaxy Explorer is my favorite Lego toy. Great to swoosh (with it's 3-layer plate-on-plate construction, it's not going to fall apart; not bad for a no-Technic design), plenty of minifigs and their accessories, storage for the little car inside the ship, and two…

    Gotta be the Galaxy Explorer #497. King of the Classic Space sets and the source of most of my Lego envy as a child (finally got one about 15 years ago). A fantastic piece of design work in the late '70's, and still looks pretty good on the shelf today. Solid non-Technic studs-up construction means that you can swoosh all…

    Yes, that TV is a Vizio, so it is an off brand, but that price is also 30% cheaper than I've ever seen. It is also a smart TV with all the apps built in, so it is not some old dumb model from last year they are just dumping. Walmart does have a 32" HDTV as well... For $98! That kicks the snot out of Target's deal, even if…

    @jason1976 Thanks! Yes I believe I have already seen that clip, or there might even be more clips where they visit the fault/Lego archive. Great nostalgia! Didn't National Geographic also do a Lego documentary a couple of years ago?! That space monorail #6990 , and that #928 or/and #497 Space Cruiser are so cool, and…

    ^ Yes, #497 was the designation in the US (and Canada?), while #928 was for RoW. This is the same for a number of sets in early Classic Space. The sets themselves are identical, so no need to get duplicates! When you say "The pre-1984 minifigure sets are difficult or impossible to find", what are you referring to? Sets…

    Comment by Oldfan · January 2015 · Home› Buying & Selling Topics

    6985 was the only Classic Space ship that came close to having a realistic interior space. All the other big space ships were little more than a single seat (or two) with wings, hardly a "long exploration voyage" craft. The price of that design, in the CS scale, is a certain amount of clunki-ness (although some bigger…
